Workin' Moms Has Already Been Renewed for a Fifth Season

The fourth season of Workin' Moms recently dropped on Netflix, and has fans asking for more.

While Workin' Moms has already been renewed for a fifth season, there's a chance it won't come to Netflix.

The fourth season of Workin' Moms, which dropped recently, is the latest Netflix sensation, and it's easy to understand why. The Canadian sitcom came to the streaming giant at the exact right time: Many parents are busier than ever. (Hello, homeschool.)

Luckily, future seasons of Workin' Moms are essentially guaranteed. The series was renewed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) for a fifth season.

The show's main characters can sympathize with feelings of burnout. Workin' Moms was created by Catherine Reitman, who stars as Kate Foster, a woman trying to raise her son and keep her career going. Anne Carlson (Dani Kind), Frankie Coyne (Juno Rinaldi), and Jenny Matthews (Jessalyn Wanlim) round out the cast as more "workin' moms."

Still, watching the characters of Workin' Mom carry out their hectic lives is somewhat bizarre for creators and audiences alike, given the state of social distancing. "It's a different world right now," Reitman told q on cnbc. Here's what Reitman says is in store for the future of Workin' Moms.

A release date for season 5 of Workin' Moms has not been announced.

The writers of Workin' Moms have been hard at work on the show's fifth season since April. "It's been kinda cool, all the writers get on Zoom...and we talk out big ideas and we've been actually reviewing drafts," Reitman told q on cnbc.

Still, Reitman admits she isn't inspired to write in the current climate."There's so much pressure right now to learn how to play an instrument, or write the next novel! Not only am I not capable of all those things, but it's a stressful climate. I don't find it creatively stimulating," Reitman continued. "I'm working full time with kids at home and trying to teach them to read a clock!"

She added, "As I'm looking into the future of the show, I'm definitely considering: Does this affect it?"

But Workin' Moms may not come to Netflix.

There's a slight obstacle to your next Workin' Moms Netflix binge. The CBC, which produces the show, is reevaluating its deal with Netflix. Currently, these CBC shows are available on the network: Alias Grace, Anne with an E, Schitt's Creek, Workin' Moms, Kim's Convenience, Heartland and Intelligence.

"A number of countries have done deals, as we did, with Netflix, and over time we start to see that we're feeding the growth of Netflix, or we're feeding the growth of Amazon, rather than feeding our own domestic business and industry," CBC Television president and CEO Catherine Tait said in October 2019 on the podcast Content Canada,

Essentially, the CBC is focusing on products that actively benefit Canadian entertainment, instead of fuel Netflix. "We're not going to do deals that hurt the long-term viability of our domestic industry," Tait said.

Workin Momswill likely feature the same cast.

Catherine Reitman, Jessalyn Wanlim, Dani Kind, and Juno Rinaldi will return as the show's central characters. Whether they find themselves in pandemic-inspired limbo, or just carrying out their normal, frenetic lives, we'll have to wait and see.
